Fishing is good and fishing has been fun the past week. Whitebass are feeding on the surface early and late in the day. Inline spinners, such as a Mepps Aglia #4, are working best. The fish chase minnows to the surface and have been providing some of the fastest fishing on the lakes. When the white go down from the surface, fish the bottom just under the location you last saw the fish on the surface. Smallmouth are slow, but some nice fish have been reported. Small Carolina rigged worms are the better bait. Largemouth are good on the drop off, especially in Lake Barkley. The fish are not running lunker size, but the numbers are good. Bluegill are still hitting live bait around the docks. Catfishing is very good below Kentucky Dam. Both live bait and cut shad are working. Scattered sauger are being caught on Kentucky Lake. Crappie are slow and few fishermen are after them.<br><br>TIP: The larger whitebass usually cruise under the surface and catch the wounded fish from the surface.<br><br>BITS AND PIECES: It's hard to be depressed if you look for things that make you grateful.<br><br><br>www.kentuckylakebarkley.com

I have to say, everything I heard from strawberry this year had me thinking the trip was going to be a poor one. Well, it was the best trip I have ever had up there. For numbers that is, size is still way down from years past, but the numbers are good. The first evening I spent finding what the fish wanted and how to give it to them, by the next morning, it was all fiqured out. We caught around fifty fish each day, between two poles. Heres what worked for us. Pot o gold spoons in red and white, let out about thirty seconds, then cliped on a downrigger and dropped twenty feet. Troll at 1.8 mph north of the inidan creek boat ramp and in the narrows between strawberry and soldier creek. Early mornings were not super productive with this method the fish seemed to be hitting powerbait at that time. We didnt want to keep them so we just waited. All day from then on and evening the fish were biting on the troll. We wanted to let all the cutts go and just keep the rainbows and it worked out nicely because we only got three rainbows the entire time, the rest were cutts. The guys fishing the bait were getting more rainbows. My only other piece of advice would be to bring the fish up slow if you get them beyond 15-20 ft. We stop the boat on each fish and play them slow and we had several that were blowing bubbles when we got the to the boat. You have to catch and release when you get into that many fish and we need to catch and release fish that will survive, bring them up too quick and they dont seem to do too well. Any body have any questions, feel free to ask, I know lots of guys have been going up and getting skunked so I pretty much said it all, but if you are headed up and want more info, let me know.<br><br>UNICORN CATCHER F.L.P.

Hit the water with the wife at about 7:30pm and fished until 1100 pm. trolled the whole time and caught 1 wiper and had a few other hits. Didnt see too much surface activity either. Wind picked up pretty good about 9:00pm. Headed back out friday night.<br><br><font color=purple><b>The Fisherless Fishermen</font color=purple></b>

Was out on the Eldorado today and caught 21 local albacore just off the east end of San Clemente Island. If anyone has a change to go fish a one day tuna trip right now, it looks like it may get very good here real soon.<br><br>The fish today were on the smaller side but still fun on light tackle. 15 and 20 lb. line and a large fiery anchovy was the ticket.<br><br>Hope to see you out there.<br><br><br>Milo

Anybody know of any good spots to fish for Salmon and/or steelhead in the SW Washington area. I fished for salmon on the Kalama last year. I don't have a boat so I will need to fish from the bank. I am hoping to do some fishing the week of July 29. I know it is probably too early for salmon, but I hope to get a few stealhead. So if anyone knows of any good spots that would be helpful, also the technique used to fish for them at those locations (I am pretty new to fishing so I don't know very many technical terms for fishing techniques) Thanks all for the help.<br><br>
